Fiber HDMI Celerity vs. Rainbow Fish 超短評

早前在ebay以超低價bid了Celerity 同Rainbow Fish Fiber HDMI,
兩條都係35呎,
從Anthony嘅木眼嚟講條Rainbow Fish同條Celerity無乜分別,
但兩條嘅nosie都比之前條Chord Silver Active少,

其他表現就差唔多,Rainbow Fish比Celerity淡少少,
但真係好少好少分別,自己比較buy Celerity就兩面取電同大細頭方便拉線多啲,
所以自己主力會用條Celerity由103D直出,
Rainbow Fish 畀Cary出做後備,
如果講官價就Rainbow Fish平過Celerity,
只係我喺ebay bid條Celerity 六百幾港幣連運費真係超抵,

買邊條自己決定吧。

Reference 2: Blu-Ray Demo Disc


計約三年前介紹的AVS HD Demo Disc後,今次再推介一隻同樣由AVS Forum的發燒友所制作的Fans Made Demo Disc: Reference 2: Blu-ray Demo Disc。

這隻Demo Disc容量約為44.2GB、從下圖可見碟中收錄的片斷分為Surround、Bass、Visual、Animation、Music及Superheros六大類。


其實坊間有不少Fans Made Demo Disc,如AVS HD Demo、Ultimate Bass Demo Vol. 1& 2、Reference: Blu-ray Demo Disc。而Anthony認為Demo Disc除了所收錄的內容外,操作的流暢度是十分重要,而Pop Up Menu可謂幫助不少。以操作方便來說AVS HD Demo是好,Ultimate Bass Demo 1 & 2所收錄的片斷最多,而今次介紹的Reference 2: Blu-ray Demo Disc操作流暢度算是合格,而所收錄片斷的質素亦算高。

收錄內容包括

當播放Bass中的Art Of Flight 及Pulse這兩段片斷真是令Anthony擔心家中兩位Subwoofer頂不住會燒壞,而就算不燒Subwoofer也怕被鄰居投訴。

另外Anthony最喜愛的是Music中的Animusic及Jazz Standards。

都係要加返隻二手Entreq Silver Tellus地盒

自己套系統一路都無乜落任何補品,只有一隻Lightspeed HT1 MKII,啲電源線都只係黑雞,訊號線都只係Gotham 11301,因為希望留力升級硬件。唯獨有一個 配件一定要加,就係地盒,而且係越大越好,當年喺Kenneth兄幫手下造咗一隻100磅重嘅地盒,效果真係好驚人...
